I absolutely love the Bentgo Kids Chill Lunch Box! It fits so much food and keeps everything cool. I can put a sandwich, string cheese, drinkable yogurt, berries and little pretzels in and I know they will stay in place. It is also very easy for my 4 year old to open and close it while he is at school.

This backpack has worked well as a diaper bag for my one year old! She needs a packed lunch for daycare, and her bentgo box fits perfectly in the bottom- with an ice pack! Her teachers always know where to find her things. I can keep her organized, so they aren’t fishing around her bag for her lunchbox. It also leaves plenty of room for bottles and changes of clothes in the top portion. I’m confident this bag will last her I still preschool!

Great for my kindergartener! The bottom lunch holder area takes away from the book bag depth. But she can still carry her home folder back and forth. It can get heavy, since she is in aftercare and takes lunch and snacks. We also go the bento lunchbox too, in hindsight I probably need a separate lunch box for the bentgo and her snacks. We are making it work.

The compartments on this box are the perfect size to pack a toddler or a young child’s lunch or assortment of snacks when going out. That said, it is not the easiest kind of case to close. My son would certainly not be able to do it himself. Also, I think that the cooling layer causes some moisture and extra wetness to the food inside the case that is not entirely desirable.

My children had a non ice pack model that lasted for 3 years and was used daily. We purchased these for this school year. It is difficult to close and open. My first grader was able to independently open and close the other model and now she has to ask for help daily. Not the independence I want to foster. I appreciate that the ice pack can be reused, but I wouldn’t purchase again…especially for the price.

It wasn't quite clear that the bottom is an included lunch box, and is not a storage pocket for a separate lunchbox. This backpack is a perfect size and works for my preschooler. But his life would be easier if the lunch box could just slide out of that pocket. I tried to go back and reread the description and look at pictures. But it's not clear from what I am seeing.

This Backpack/lunchbox is perfect! Just the right size to hold plenty of necessities for school/daycare but not so big that toddler's can not carry themselves. AND allows parents to not have to schlep a ton of bags in and out. And the kiddos love the fun prints!

Super expensive yet the construction feels super flimsy like cheap plastic Easter eggs. The pieces have a hard time connecting together. It's possible to latch the box closed even though the cold pack insert and the food tray aren't connected perfectly, which means there is a gap for soft foods like yogurt or applesauce to spill out and make a huge mess. Would never buy again.

Almost perfect, but a few issues I have come across. Overall, the lunch bag portion works... literally if it is a Bentgo product being used! If you need to use an ice box and use a box that is thicker, it gets rather cozy. Another thing is even when using the Bentgo boxes in the lunch bag area, the zipper tends to snag on the plastic materials. Not sure if it's a QA issue with mine. Overall, my little girl loves this backpack. We tried it out on a long weekend trip and she looks forward to using it when she starts Kindergarten and continues to bring her lunch with her.

We love our Bentgo Chill lunch boxes. We have 4! And two of the snack containers. They hold up so well to my two rough and tumble kiddos. We use them for school, picnics, road trips and more. I recommend them to all my friends. If you’re hesitant on the price tag know it’s worth it. You don’t have to replace these constantly like cheaper brands. They are well built and worth every dollar.
